Patent CA-2603978-A1 (CA)
Title: Synchronized audio/video decoding for network devices
Inventor: IWAMURA RYUICHI
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: A method of synchronizing decoders within a network to a server includes receiving a set of timestamps and local clock signals upon receiving the beacon interrupt signal, computing differential timestamp and local clock values based on values of timestamp and local clock signals, respectively, within the sets of timestamp and local clock signals, determining whether the differential local clock value has a predetermined relationship with the differential timestamp value, and transmitting a clock rate adjustment command signal to the decoder when differential local clock value does not have the predetermined relationship with the differential timestamp value. The clock rate adjustment command signal adjusts (he local system time clock of the decoder such that a subsequent differential dock value will have the predetermined relationship with the differential timestamp value. For each decoder within the network, the decoders are substantially synchronized and the decoding delay can be kept below humanly perceptible levels.

Patent CA-2608822-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IIJIMA MASAKI
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2007-10-30
Abstract: A CO2 recovery system includes an absorption tower and a regeneration tower. CO2 rich solution is produced in the absorption tower by absorbing CO2, from CO2-containing gas. The CO2 rich solution is conveyed to the regeneration tower where lean solution is produced from the rich solution by removing CO2. A reclaimer heats the lean solution that is produced in the regeneration tower to produce a condensed waste-product from the lean solution by condensing a depleted material contained in the lean solution, and removes the condensed waste-product. A cooler cools the condensed waste-product.

Title: System and method for variable threshold sensor
Inventor: KATES LAWRENCE
IPC: G08B29/24
Filed: 2006-05-05
Abstract: A sensor system that provides an adjustable threshold level for the sensed quantity is described. The adjustable threshold allows the sensor to adjust to ambient conditions, aging of components, and other operational variations while still providing a relatively sensitive detection capability for hazardous conditions. The adjustable threshold sensor can operate for extended periods without maintenance or recalibration. In one embodiment, the sensor is self-calibrating and runs through a calibration sequence at startup or at periodic intervals. In one embodiment, the adjustable threshold sensor is used in an intelligent sensor system that includes one or more intelligent sensor units and a base unit that can communicate with the sensor units. When one or more of the sensor units detects an anomalous condition (e.g., smoke, fire, water, etc.) the sensor unit communicates with the base unit and provides data regarding the anomalous condition. The base unit can contact a supervisor or other responsible person by a plurality of techniques, such as, telephone, pager, cellular telephone, Internet (and/or local area network), etc. In one embodiment, one or more wireless repeaters are used between the sensor units and the base unit to extend the range of the system and to allow the base unit to communicate with a larger number of sensors.
Patent CA-2612120-A1 (CA)
Title: Provision of frames or borders around pigment flakes for covert security applications
Inventor: ARGOITIA ALBERTO
IPC: C09D7/61
Filed: 2007-11-23
Abstract: Opaque flakes, such as pigment or bright flakes used in paints and inks, have a selected shape and/or other indicia to provide a covert security feature to an object. Shaped opaque covert flakes are not readily detectable by causal observation, but in some embodiments are easily seen at 50X magnification. In manufacturing the flakes a sheet of embossed frames are provided having embossed symbols or indicia within. Upon removing a coating from the embossed sheet the coating material tends to break along frame lines or grooves and the resulting flakes are substantially uniform in size. In order to have the flakes break along frame lines or grooves more readily than along the embossing or grooves defining indicia within a frame, the frames are provided with a deeper groove than indicia grooves. As well a groove having a different shaped profile conducive to breakage can be used for the frame grooves whereas a groove having a profile less conducive to breakage can be used to form the indicia grooves. We have found that the flakes can be further protected from breakage by coating them in a protective coating. This coating may have other features which makes the logo more visible.

Title: Smart solid state relay
Inventor: BRYAN LYLE STANLEY
IPC: H01R13/703
Filed: 2003-02-06
Abstract: An electrical system includes a solid state relay (1) and an electrical connector (2) that connects solid state relay (1) to a load (4). The solid state relay (1) includes a power MOSFET (Q1) for switching power to the load (4). A PNP transistor (Q2) monitors the voltage drop across the power MOSFET (Q1), and shuts the power MOSFET off when the voltage drop exceeds a reference level. The solid state relay circuitry floats when the power MOSFET is commanded OFF so there is no leakage to ground. The relay (1) can be used with an electrical connector that includes a short pin (34) or shunt (16) that is disconnected before male and female terminals (12, 22) are unmated. Disconnection of the shunt (16) or the short pin (34) causes the power MOSFET  to be commanded OFF so that there is no current flowing through the male and female terminals (12, 22) when they reach an arc susceptible position. The solid state relay (1) and the connector (2) are suitable for use in a 42 Volt automotive electrical system.

Title: Engine timing control with intake air pressure sensor
Inventor: PATTANTYUS TAMAS I
IPC: F02D41/34
Filed: 2007-01-22
Abstract: An engine control apparatus is disclosed for determining crankshaft position and engine phase of an internal combustion engine through monitoring intake air pressure fluctuations. The opening of the intake valve is mechanically linked to the crankshaft position of an engine. When the intake valve opens it creates air pressure fluctuations in the air induction system of the engine.  The control apparatus is configured to determine intake air pressure fluctuations indicative of an intake air event and thus a particular crankshaft position, and their corresponding period of the engine cycle. The controller then uses this information to determine crankshaft speed and position for the purpose of fuel injection and ignition timing of the internal combustion engine. Engine phase is also determined on four-stroke engines. The engine may also include a crankshaft position sensor in combination with monitoring intake air pressure fluctuations to increase resolution in determination of crankshaft position. A circuit is provided for simultaneously measuring intake temperature using a single bridge type pressure sensor in order to calculate air mass flow rate.

Abstract: The invention aims at minimizing the risks of release of the dose associated with the concurrent consumption of alcohol and certain pharmaceutical or dietary forms with modified release. The invention concerns an oral form comprising reservoir-type microparticles, with modified release of at least one active principle. The invention is characterized in that it is resistant to the immediate release of the dose of active principle in the presence of alcohol. In particular, the inventive oral form is characterized in that the releasing time of 50% of the active principle, in an alcohol-containing solution is not reduced by more than 3 times compared to the releasing time of 50% of the active principle in an alcohol-free aqueous medium. The form comprises an agent D which is a pharmaceutically acceptable compound of which the hydrating or solvating speed and capacity is higher in an alcohol-free aqueous medium than in an alcohol-containing solution.
